For a full player pool and vote breakdowns see the link (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ARaI3VCNauULLYL1Yu24HIRY768FYQdip56sp6uRFGk/edit?usp=sharing).

Everyone may post in this thread but only votes from serious contributors will be considered. Not everyone has to write an essay but there should be some justification or explanation and some coherent arguments being presented. I encourage people to be open-minded and willing to adjust their rankings in response to strong evidence. Debate and discussion is encouraged.

I vote for Karl Malone.

[8Ball]

Malone, Dirk is next.

[NBAGOAT]

I’m going Dirk. Malone is next. Malone is better on defense but I think Dirk has a bigger edge on offense. Like with kg, dirks longevity isn’t that much worse

[expansionera]

Dirk schooled KG literally every time they matched up against one another, led a team with no all stars to a Finals wherein he won FMVP against a super team with three first ballot prime Hall of Famers, and had multiple 50-40-90 seasons. Of course ISH doesn’t believe offense and winning matters and salivates over media defensive awards

[1987_Lakers]

Malone

[TheCorporation]

Not even ONE ring? I can't vote Malone over Dirk.

I vote Dirk

[L.Kizzle]

Not even ONE ring? I can't vote Malone over Dirk.

I vote Dirk
We just voting for rings now?
Guess Malone will be outside the top 25.

Of course not, plenty have more than Dirk but it's hard to have a guy top 20 with ZERO rings. He doesn't need 3 or 4, but zero? Meh.

He'd be the 1st voted into the top 20 without a ring so that's a no for me dawg. Dirk it is.

No hate on Dirk, I have him over KG.

[RRR3]

David Robinson.

[kawhileonard2]

Kawhi should be much higher.

[000]

Harden

[Airupthere]

Final Vote Tally

Karl Malone - 11 (Magic is Magic, L. Kizzle, Phoenix, SouBeachTalents, 8Ball, Clipper Revival, Chick Stern, dankok8, 8Ball, 1987_Lakers, jlip)
Dirk Nowitzki - 5 (Gonzaldo, ELITEpower23, Manny98, NBAGOAT, TheCorporation)
Kawhi Leonard - 3 (kawhileonard2, HBK_Kliq_2, Honor Boost)
Charles Barkley - 2 (Round Mound, Airupthere)
John Havlicek - 1 (Jasper)
David Robinson - 1 (RRR3)
James Harden - 1 (000)

Karl wins. Thread #20 is now open.

[Jasper]

picking K Garnet over Malone as well as Hondo makes this list a failure.
